constellation sensation
Claude was a solid warmth to ease his adrenaline and current passions into. Chance swayed back and forth again, restless, childlike in his enthusiasm, still staring upwards with wide-eyed awe.
"It can only be seen in the northern hemisphere," he answered her breathlessly. "But it's the eighth largest constellation, even if it's not very bright. It starts just north of Hercules, and ends between the Big Dipper, and the Little Dipper, and the Cat's Eye Nebula is also included in it."
He wrapped both arms fully around Claude now and lifted her partly off of her feet, as though trying to help her see the sky better.
"That's the other tattoo I want to get, is that constellation," Chance said excitedly, and let her back down, hands roaming, his mouth landing on hers for a full, insistent kiss that, unfortunately, had very little to do with Claude herself and almost everything to do with what they were talking about.
"Five more minutes," he said, "Until we have to go, which sucks, but even five minutes is amazing."

Claude just smirked at him, because her joke was amazing, and because she knew she was right. "There's books and CDs...if you can find a runic player...but the best practice is to immerse yourself in the language. If you can find a German speaker on the Island, that'd help, if not...you could always take a day and go to Germany."

She didn't doubt she definitely had the better end of the stick in regards to childhood. "Of course." She replied. "Don't think I won't steal a sea worthy replica ship one of these days." It was uttered with the utmost serious.
Claude smirked a bit as she found her ball and plucked it out of the blushes. She placed it near the boundary for the course, and glanced at Chance, who missed the whole. "Glad you don't usually have that trouble."
Apparently it was innuendo putt putt.
She leaned and tried an honest and calculated swing with her club. She hit the ball, and watched it go rolling in a nice straight line this time. Right past the hole.
Poker face.

"And because we're friends." She added into his statement, pausing in eating to take a swig of her drink. "The company would be amusing to say the least."

His mother...
She always came up briefly, and the general impression was that she wasn't worth anything, and this tid bit was also tucked away.
Claude just looked at him like she hadn't just done anything (which, admittedly, was her default expression). A brow quirked as he smeared wet sand down her leg. She stared at it, and then at him. A hand reached out to plant itself on the side of his curly head.
"Do you find this unpleasant?" She pushed him over into the oncoming wave. That action was immediately followed up by throwing her small bag onto the dry sand, along with her sunglasses.

constellation sensationClaude didn't have a clue about those other constellations, and admittedly only recognized the Big and Little Dipper. "You'll have to point them out to me sometime when we're in the right hemisphere." This was followed up but a soft surprised sound as her feet partly dangled off the ground. "Mm? Where are you going to put it?" Any other question got swept up in the insistent kiss. Her arms squeezed his neck briefly. "You'll be back soon." She murmured against the corner of his mouth.

He hummed thoughtfully. "I'll have to go and see if anyone speaks German, or even French, possibly Italian," said Chance musingly, rubbing his free hand along his jaw. "Or even if they have some obscure language up their sleeve, that would be great too."

He pointed the club at her again, but not close enough that he'd actually hit her.
"I sense a birthday gift in the making," Chance deadpanned. "Which, since you already know mine - is when, by the way? Obviously I'm not the most exciting person when it comes to celebrating anything, but still."
Her joke and her innuendo was received with a rolling of his eyes as Chance batted the last little bit, finally managing to sink his golf ball. He reached down, plucked it out of the hole, and swung his club up to rest on both shoulders, draping his hands on it.
"I never have that problem, if that's what you're insinuating," he said innocently.

He'd forgotten that part, mostly because he still wasn't sure what exactly that meant.
"Right, right," said Chance, sipping his beer. "I think it'd be a nice way to unwind from like, say, a mission or something, wouldn't you? Except I did promise you curry after our next mission together, so that's kind of a separate thing."

He had about a split second to appreciate the fact that he'd already set aside his bags before Chance got a face full of ocean water. Coughing and spluttering, he sank down beneath the wave momentarily before bursting up again, whipping his head back and forth and spraying water everywhere.
"You d**k," he said cheerfully. "No, I don't find it unpleasant, just unexpected."
Chance spread his arms and heaved it towards Claude, feet sliding on the slippery ground.

constellation sensation
"Next time we're in the Northern Hemisphere, I'll definitely point it out," said Chance, eyes flickering upwards once more. He felt endless standing beneath the dark sky, as though he was stretched this way and that, and the tiniest part of him was almost regretful that the emotions he was feeling were entirely directed towards the stars, and not to the beautiful woman currently in his arms.
Almost. But not quite, not nearly enough of him was capable of such a thing. The thoughts were quickly discarded, lost under the restless excitement of being in such a place, of seeing such a sight.
"Probably my arm somewhere," he answered her, pressing distracted, messy little kisses against her jawline, tracing lines up to her ear and behind it before he pulled his head back up, eyes alight with excitement. "Like, my wrist, or something, perhaps, maybe my lower back."

She raised her hand idly before letting it drop back to her side. "I can teach you French." As for everything else, she didn't know where to point him. She didn't know anyone who spoke other languages.

"Mm." She hummed a bit thoughtfully. "May first." Claude strolled her way over to where her ball stopped, glancing back at the hole as Chance sunk his own in. "I'm not insinuating anything." She replied. You're hearing things. She then lightly tapped her own ball, and was rewarded by the sound of a clunk as it went in.
Sadly, it wasn't very satisfying to have finally made it.
Regardless, she went to retrieve it, and started to move onto the next hole, where on the course, there was a miniature pirate ship. Well, alright, maybe putt putt did get a bit more interesting.

"I suppose." Her normal impassive expression didn't gave away what she really thought about it. Having a larger get together after a mission sounded like work, but oh well. Chance proposed it, and he seemed inclined to do it, so she'd go along with it.
Hm.
In reply to the promise of curry, she just gave a small nod of her head as she twirled more spaghetti onto her fork.

Her shoulders shook lightly with amusement, and she chuckled softly before it settled into a smirk.
She tried to turn to move away from the oncoming spray but it didn't work so well. Claude blinked as she felt something on her shoulder, and looked down to find that stray piece of seaweed again. She peeled it off her shoulder, and once again, chucked it back at the other.
"Do you find limitations unpleasant?"
